At least it won't rattle....
Something to try...put your lower w/stock in the freezer and let it cold soak overnight.
MAYBE the metal will shrink enough compared to the plastic to let you pull it off without too much drama.
If you do get it off though, don't toss it quite yet. There isn't that much difference between a mil and civ tube...something like .010" off the inner diameter all around. Not a 10 minute job, but doable with a right-sized dowel and appropriate sandpaper and you get to customize the fit to your liking. (I'm about as lazy as they come, but I've done it...and know others that have, too)
...and try to keep your sense of humor. If that's the biggest mistake you make with a firearm, you won't be too bad off.
